Chapter 841: Deadly Misunderstanding

Zu An immediately asked Mi Li about this. Mi Li also fell into thought. "There are three possibilities. First, the world is in chaos right now, and the magic array is restructuring. Many abilities that were originally usable are now unusable, and your skill might also be affected. Second, that thunder force just now—thunder is the purest power between heaven and earth, capable of expelling all evil and demonic forces..."

Zu An immediately became displeased. "Are you calling my skill evil?"

Mi Li chuckled. "Your skill is indeed quite sinister. It seems to inflict a negative status on a person, affecting their soul. It's not surprising that such powerful thunder could purify it."

Zu An was speechless.

Mi Li continued, "The third possibility is that the emperor is simply too powerful. His divine soul has surpassed the imagination of ordinary people. Even if he was hit by your skill, he could still maintain a certain degree of sanity. After being struck by lightning just now, he might have decided it was too dangerous to come after you immediately, so he'll wait for the world to stabilize before finding another opportunity to kill you."

Zu An's face immediately fell. "That's the worst possible scenario."

In his mind, the abilities from the keyboard system were of the highest priority. If even these couldn't affect the emperor, what hope would he have?

Zu An was not giving up. He decided to provoke the other party again and shouted loudly, "Hey, you fat idiot!"

Zhao Ruizhi, who had been meditating under a large tree to regulate his breathing, suddenly looked up. He Li, standing nearby, couldn't help but stare at Zu An. This guy is truly a daredevil, he thought. Others who offend the emperor wish they could get as far away as possible, yet this fellow actively provokes him?

What new trouble was he planning to stir up now?

Bi Linglong also looked up at him in confusion, not understanding his intention.

Just then, under everyone's gaze, Zu An lowered his head and kissed her bright red lips. Her lips were incredibly soft and carried a sweet fragrance.

Bi Linglong's mind exploded with a sudden boom.

The Dead Soldiers of Prince Qi's Manor: "..."He Li: "..."

"Damn, this guy is out of his mind! He's gone too far. Even I can't stand it, let alone the emperor!" He quickly turned to see Zhao Ruizhi's reaction. He saw the emperor's eyes turn red, and a terrifying pressure emanated from him.

To He Li's surprise, however, the emperor quickly closed his eyes, as if everything before him didn't exist. He couldn't help but admire him. "To endure what ordinary people cannot—no wonder he's the emperor and I'm not," he thought.

Zu An was also somewhat surprised. The emperor could even tolerate that? However, he had confirmed one thing: his "Verbal Abuse" skill had indeed become ineffective. During its activation, he couldn't receive any rage points generated by the target.

Seeing that the emperor could still maintain his composure, Zu An even considered using the ultimate move, "Your wife is awesome," to make him lose his mind. However, considering Bi Linglong's reputation, he dismissed the idea.

At this point, Bi Linglong finally reacted. Blushing, she pushed him away and then frantically ran into the small grove behind them. Such an unconventional act went against her years of aristocratic etiquette training, and being watched by so many people was more than she could bear.

Zu An glanced at Zhao Ruizhi, then quickly chased after her.

From a distance, He Li was utterly stunned. These two had gone into the small grove, a man and a woman alone—who knew what might happen? Could the emperor truly tolerate even this? Seeing Zhao Ruizhi feigning calmness, but with an involuntary twitch in his cheek, He Li decisively chose not to go and provoke him.

Meanwhile, Zu An caught up to Bi Linglong and gently asked, "Why are you running?"

"How dare you ask that? Doing... doing that to me in front of so many people!" Bi Linglong looked at him with shame and annoyance.

Zu An looked wronged. "Didn't you kiss me first?"

"That was just... just to anger him, it wasn't really... anything toward you. Don't misunderstand," Bi Linglong said frantically, then, as if possessed, she added, "And even if... even if it were something, don't you dare think I'm that kind of casual woman."

Zu An smiled. "You don't need to overthink it. I was just trying to anger the emperor earlier, to provoke him into losing his mind and coming to take revenge so I could use the power of heaven and earth against him. I just didn't expect him to be so composed."

"That's... for the best," Bi Linglong said. Hearing his words, she felt a strange sense of disappointment for some reason. She turned away, not wanting to look at him.

Looking at her snow-white hair, Zu An thought for a moment, then took out some pills and handed them to her. "Oh, right, your life force was severely depleted when you used that secret technique earlier. Here are some qi-replenishing and foundation-strengthening pills. After you take them, I'll help you meditate to absorb the medicinal power."

He had bought many medicines from Ji Dengtu previously, and before entering the secret realm, Chu Youzhao had also prepared various kinds, many of which were for strengthening one's foundation. Zu An took them all out.

Seeing this, Bi Linglong felt a warmth in her heart. He still remembered her condition. After her little tantrum, she was initially a bit embarrassed to accept them, but seeing her white hair, she still reached out and took them. "Thank you!" What woman doesn't care about her appearance?

Ordinarily, she would never dare to casually take medicine given by other men, but this time she didn't hesitate at all. She put the pills into her mouth, then sat cross-legged and began to circulate the nearly depleted vital energy within her body.

Zu An sat behind her, placed his hand on a major acupoint on her back, and channeled a vast amount of vital energy into her. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly. In those historical dramas from his previous life, young heroes always had to remove clothing when healing women. Compared to them, he was truly a pure and honest man.

Bi Linglong, of course, didn't know what he was thinking. With his help, she began to refine the medicinal power within her. A warm sensation spread throughout her limbs, and her complexion became noticeably rosier. Although these medicines were far from enough to fully replenish her lost life force, they did nourish her currently weakened body.

Zu An clearly noticed this. Thinking about the items he carried, he pulled out a large Ganoderma lucidum mushroom. "This thousand-year Ganoderma lucidum contains rich life energy. Taking it should help with the depletion in your body."

Bi Linglong opened her eyes, immediately confused. "Isn't this something I gave you before?" She felt a bit dazed. Back then, she was the noble Crown Princess, and she had given this item to him merely to win over an effective subordinate. How could she have known that in the future, she would experience so many things with that very subordinate?

Zu An, without a blush or a racing heart, said, "Doesn't this just prove it's destiny? There's a will of heaven in the unseen."

Hearing his words, Bi Linglong's heart thumped. Could this truly be fate? Women always have an inexplicable sense of trust in such mysterious things.

Mi Li, bored and watching the drama unfold, curled her lip. "This guy is truly impressive," she thought. "Using something a woman gave him to woo her, and the crucial thing is, she actually falls for it."

Zu An tore off a piece of the Ganoderma lucidum and brought it to Bi Linglong's lips. "Conditions are limited right now, just eat it like this." Normally, using Ganoderma lucidum to refine pills would make better use of its medicinal properties. Unfortunately, Zu An currently only knew how to refine Spirit Gathering Pills. Trying to refine other pills might result in failure and waste this precious medicinal ingredient, so it was better for her to eat it directly.

Bi Linglong hummed in agreement, took the piece of Ganoderma lucidum, parted her red lips slightly, and began to suck on it in small bites.

Meanwhile, Zhao Ruizhi was waiting for the spatial anomaly to stabilize so he could go and "teach Zu An a lesson." But after waiting for so long, there was no sign of stabilization, and he grew increasingly irritable. He had originally not wanted to inquire about what the two of them were doing on the other side, following the adage "out of sight, out of mind." After all, knowing Bi Linglong as he did, he was certain she would never truly do anything improper. However, feeling a bit bored and annoyed now, he decided to listen in on their activity.

He Li had been trying to eavesdrop the whole time. With his cultivation, he could easily listen in from a hundred paces away. Unfortunately, violent storms kept blowing through, combined with the chaotic elemental energy, making the sounds from that direction consistently indistinct. But just then, the storm seemed to weaken slightly, and Bi Linglong's soft, slightly aggrieved voice intermittently drifted over:

"It's too big, I can't fit it..."

He Li: "???"

"What are those two doing? Playing such wild games?" He quickly looked at Zhao Ruizhi beside him, seeing the fat on the emperor's face quiver violently, followed by an angry roar that shook the heavens and earth:

"Zu An, I will tear you to pieces!"
